Librecad seems good and I got it working instantly on a Debian box. Only how do I draw a box and then change the properties to specific side lengths?
For example, if I want to picture a building that is rectangular (from above) with one side 10m and the other 5m? I managed to make an approximate rectangle with the "rectangle" tool but how do I bring up properties so that I can assign the exact values? I made a search on Gmane (news.gmane.org) for "librecad" but apparently no mailing list is registered there. Also, on aioe (nntp.aioe.org) there seems to be no Usenet group dedicated to librecad. Now this speaks volumes. Aren't people using it? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
